Air Conditioning
Central AC and ductless cooling — repaired, replaced, and installed for the humid stretch of a Southeastern Mass summer.
Summers here are short but humid, and an AC system that limped through last August rarely improves on its own. We diagnose and repair central air conditioning of any make, replace systems that have reached the end of the line, and install ductless cooling in the rooms that never seem to keep up — additions, second floors, and finished attics.
What's Included
- AC repair and diagnostics, all makes and models
- Central air conditioner replacement & installation
- Ductless mini-split cooling
- Refrigerant leak diagnosis and charging
- Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
- Condensate drain and airflow corrections
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The usual suspects are a clogged filter choking airflow, a frozen evaporator coil, a failed capacitor, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by replacing the filter and, if the coil is iced up, shut the system off and let it thaw. If it still won't cool, it needs a technician — and if it's low on refrigerant, the leak needs fixing, not just a top-off.
How long does a new AC installation take?
A straightforward replacement using existing ductwork is typically a single day. Adding a system where none existed, or reworking ductwork, can run two days or more. We'll walk you through the timeline before we start so you know what to expect.
Is it worth repairing an older AC unit?
If it's under about 10 years old, usually yes. Past 15, the math often flips — especially if it uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced and has become expensive. Older units also run at much lower efficiency than current equipment, so a replacement can pay back part of its cost every summer.
Can a heat pump replace my air conditioner?
Yes, and it's worth considering. A heat pump cools exactly like an air conditioner in the summer and also heats efficiently in the winter, so one system covers both. If your AC is nearing replacement anyway, it's usually the smarter upgrade — see our heat pump page for the details.
